thank you for watching fox news prime time, i'm rachel campos duffy. don't forget to catch my podcast with my husband sean, we'll have a fascinating conversation. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight," the california gold rush is long over. and yet they are still robbing trains in the state, lots of trains, they are doing it on video we will show what he was just a minute to. last night we interviewed one of the people the biden administration charged yesterday with sedition, the man is named thomas caldwell. the justice department claims he was inside the capitol building

on january 6th. he insisted emphatically he was not. at some point a jury will decide who was lying, the rest of us are free to ponder a bigger question, is he a sedition is to? is he an enemy of this nation? on january 6th it was thomas caldwell trying to overthrow the u.s. government by force? that's a pretty hard case to make. his indictment paints him as a dangerous militia leader who was planning a d-day invasion on the banks of the potomac. the real thomas caldwell does not fit that description. he's a senior citizen who walks with a cane, he's a devout christian. try to picture thomas caldwell leading a bloodthirsty band of insurgents -- you can't because he didn't. like every protester that day, he arrived at the event of an armed and likely majority, he committed no acts of violence. the justice department claims he sought to overthrow the american system of that is hard to believe. in fact he spent most of his life in honorable government service including 20 years as a

naval officer, he retired with 100% physical disability. if anyone seems in a thoroughly loyal american if thomas caldwell, he likes this country much more than susan rice does or tony blinken. why is he facing the prospect of facing the rest of his life in prison? because, democrats tell us, he and his codefendants almost toppled our democracy, they came closer than anyone since robert e. lee, that's what they have been telling us for the last year. it's absurd. only the fact we have heard it so often prevents us from recognizing how absurd it is. nothing that happened on januaro threatening our constitutional order for preventing joe biden from taking office. anyone who claims otherwise is lying and should be forced to explain specifically how the mechanics of democracy were imperiled that day. but they never explain, they just yell louder and issue more indictments. for the record because reality

still matters or should matter, here was the scene inside the capital on january 6th. >> the police here are willing to work with us and cooperate peacefully. gather more americans under the condition they will gather peacefully to discuss what needs to be done to save our country. [shouting] >> remained calm. we are going to be heard. this must be peaceful. >> we have the right to peacefully assemble! >> tucker: this must be peaceful, we have the right to peacefully assemble. turns out, no we don't. the menu just heard say that got more than four years behind bars. his crime? walking into what we used to

call nonironically the people's house. that was the qanon shaman. at his sentencing he looked shocked. if this was an insurrection they had no idea whatsoever they were participating in it to. business insider reported this afternoon that on january 7th of last year the day after, protesters called nancy pelosi's office line in the capital looking for items they had left inside the building. law enforcement took down their numbers and later arrested them. is that the behavior of people who believe they are trying to overthrow the u.s. government? these are americans who came to the capital city with their friends to complain loudly about what politicians were doing. they assumed that was still allowed but it's not allowed. joe biden has made that clear. >> 49 intelligence communities, domestic terrorists white supremacist is the most lethal terror threat in the homeland. we know now we must confront and

defeat political extremism, white supremacy, and domestic terrorism. >> don't dare call them protesters, they were a riotous mom, insurrectionist's, domestic terrorists. white supremacy, domestic terrorism, that we must confront and we will defeat. >> tucker: read the script. where exactly is all this criminal white supremacy, this right-wing domestic terrorism that poses the most lethal terror threat in the homeland? where is it? it doesn't exist. many thousands of americans are killed each year by violence, they are murdered. conservatives are not the ones who are murdering them, look it up. it's a ludicrous live. until yesterday, no one connected to january 6 had been charged with a crime the approach to the seriousness of domestic terrorism. democrats in congress are starting to notice that and complain about it so merrick garland caved to the political pressure and charged

11 people a seditious conspiracy. you think news organizations might have a few questions about the timing of that, this being an election year in which the democratic party's fortunes are heading south at high speed, but they didn't ask questions, they just celebrated the arrests uncritically. here's one particularly oily biden toady on cnn. >> for the first time the justice department is unveiling charges of seditious conspiracy against 11 participants in the january 6th capitol riots. what did these new charges tell us? prosecutors sending a clear message after criticism from lawmakers and legal experts who thought the doj was going too easy on the rioters. the chargers show the extent of advance planning as we learned many of the rioters were expecting more. >> tucker: "many of the rioters were expecting war. "why didn't they bring guns to the war?

the indictment doesn't explain that, in fact it tells us these dangerous conspirators who were anticipating more agreed not to bring firearms into the district of columbia. you guys gonna carry? one of them texted the others and what they thought was a protected chat. >> no, okay, we aren't either. here you have the people the biden administration tells us tried to overthrow the u.s. government and at the very same time this very same group also voluntarily decides to abide by restrictive gun laws. not everyone does that, not even close. washington, d.c., has an awful lot of shootings, none of them seemed interested merrick garland, yet the so-called exhibitionists decided to follow the law. now they are facing life in prison. it's all too ridiculous to be real but it is real. what's going on here? thomas caldwell gave us this assessment last night.

>> think about this. if you are perceived by people who may not even be elected in our country to not think the right way or to say something in a private email conversation that they don't like, you could end up being a target just as i'm a target. >> tucker: "we are here to overthrow the government, we are sedition lists planning an insurrection with violence but we better follow d.c. gun laws or else we get in trouble." that's literally what they are telling you. it's contemptible he absurd. another indicted sedition missed as a woman called jessica watkins, she entered the capital unarmed 40 minutes after the initial breach, she did not commit violence, she didn't break anything or assault anyone, she didn't set a fire or spray paint the walls, she is not from antifa. according to her lawyer she spoke directly to secret service agents and then she turned herself into local police when she learned there was an arrest warrant for her.

yet jessica watkins is now officially a terrorist, she and many others. the whole point of this exercise is to redefine any opposition to the democratic party as domestic terrorism as they face defeat in the midterm election, some democrats are saying that out loud. here is msnbc's jason johnson. >> i'm working hard to never say republican party again because it's not a party. they are the plo to hamas, they are a dime store front for a terrorist movement. >> tucker: but they follow d.c. gun laws because you can get in trouble if you don't. these people. a front for a terrorist movement, do they really mean what they say? who knows if they mean it? they are acting like it and that's the problem. how do the rest of us respond as the u.s. government redefines people who disagree with their political beliefs as terrorists. there's really only one way and it's a nonviolent way, the essential way, refused to play

along. don't pretend they are sincere, they are not sincere, tell the truth. call authoritarianism what it is, preferably with a middle finger extended to. that's what a man called alex russo it's dead, he's a republican political consultant who dares to work for candidates running against members of the january 6 committee, you don't want to do that. what happened? here's how he responded. "i feel sorry for you that you have to deal with the likes of liz cheney, adam kinzinger, adam schiff, and the rest of the committee members on a daily basis, i will pray for you. in other words, up yours. then he described in clear and honest terms exactly what the democrats are obviously doing. this select committee has run roughshod over the first amendment rights of my fellow citizens, now it is targeting me which it absolutely is. good for him, he joins us now. thanks so much for coming on. you made a conscious decision to tell them you know what's going on, you are not cowering, they

are violating your rights, you know that, but by saying that out loud and coming on this show you are basically daring them to hurt you, tell us why you did it. >> i welcome any attempts they are going to take at me, i think they are a bunch of fools, dangerous and corrupt fools on this committee and frankly i think they can all go to hell. i been watching this committee harass, attack and bully so many of my friends for doing nothing but standing up with president trump. i posted a video on the one year anniversary of the election and i said i'm going to stand financially with those who are going to be wrongfully persecuted and attacked at pledge tens of thousands of dollars i donated tens of thousands of dollars from my own money to the patriot freedom fund and five days later i get this email, i'm sure he's a nice guy but he's going through a

lot. can you imagine having to sit next to adam kinzinger all day? i donate this money and i get emails, i'm not going to be intimidated i donated $20,000 to a gentleman who did nothing other than give a permit, sign paperwork's for a permit on january 6th and i'm going to donate $10,000 to the only person at the justice department to is willing to investigate voter fraud and he wasn't able to. he has five kids at home and all he did was offer to investigate voter fraud and they are trying to attack him and cancel him and destroy his reputation. i've had enough of it i'm not going to sit by any longer and they can come for me. i have 24 years old i've made billions of dollars already, at the end of the day if i go broke in this fight i have my whole life to make this money back. i hope my courage will lead to others to stand up and do the right thing. >> tucker: i hope so too, people who are much older and much richer than you are -- the republican national committee, where are they? the former presidents organization, members of

congress. why are people rotting in solitary with incompetent left-wing public defenders who aren't on their side. these people are screwed because no one in the republican party's standing up for them and it's outrageous. let's quickly talk about you. roger stone did this, they want after him, he mocked them and they sent helicopters and a s.w.a.t. team with automatic weapons to his house in coordination with cnn. are you concerned? >> absently not come of this current committee has no constitutional power i'm not going to legitimize it, if they subpoena me i'll deal with that. at the end of the day the american people deserve to know the truth of what happened on january 6th. people like you have been laying out the true, they tell the truth about what happened on january 6th. we are going to go on offense now, i'm not going to be on

defense for long and we are going to find out the truth. >> tucker: we'll visit you in jail -- just kidding. great to see you. to put this into some sort of broader context we are grateful to be joined by victor davis hanson sr. fellow at the hoover institute and person who so often tells us what's really happening. thanks so much for coming out two what do you make of what we are seeing here? >> i think most americans were angry about the riots but if you're going to commit this addition, you don't get a bunch of people 40 and 50 and 60, comply with the d.c. gun laws, leave their guns, some of them get on a golf cart, some of them enter without weapons, you dress in black you wear body armor, you wear clubs you coordinate your attacks on federal courthouses or police precincts on social media like antifa did and blm did. that's how you do it.

or if you are really worried about a conspiracy, you don't put words into the mouth of people. what you do is you read "time" magazine and molly ball laid it out, she used the word this was a conspiracy, a good conspiracy, a cabal. a secret history and what did she detail? she said a lot of very wealthy americans, 419 million from mark zuckerberg, they coordinated with activists, street activists to tone it down, they preselected precincts, they poured money and they sought to stem the flow of information. that seems to be much more of a conspiratorial than that sort of surface that we saw on january 6th or if you really were serious, a foreign policy would publish an article 11 days after trump was president after a very prominent pentagon lawyer wrote an she said we got to get

rid of donald trump and there's only three ways to do it. you can have impeachment, pretty slow, 25th amendment, kind of messy, or you can have a military coup and she outlined it. that is serious stuff. i think with the american people are saying, all they want is transparency and equal protection of the law, they want to know how ashley babbitt died, they want to know how 35 people died in the summer of 2020. if you're going to go after congresspeople who say they communicated with activists, they want to know if that qualifies when the current vice president said the riots are going to go on, they're not going to stop. and she bail people out. if you're going to attack the capitol commits federal property, than if you attack the federal courthouse -- that's what they want. they want to billion dollars in property, 35 dead, 120 days of writing, they want transparency. let's get a congressional committee next session of

congress, democrats pick their best people and let's look at all the domestic terrorists and find out the truth and let the chips fall. all we are asking for, the american people -- let's be transparent, all the video has come out come all the information has come out come all the testimony about the officer who shot ashley babbitt, and let's be equal in the application of the law, that's all. >> tucker: i have to ask, no one has ever satisfactorily answered the question, why did the capitol police allow the protesters in the building if they knew they were coming, apparently snipers ready to shoot to kill, they knew there was going to be something like this and yet they welcomed them in, maybe there's a good answer for that. what could it be? >> i don't know, i think the only way we would find out is to have all the video so we could see them in action if they were talking to protesters, what were they doing? all the communications between

the capitol police and members of congress and law enforcement, let's get it out and find out because it is strange. why have we focused on this? i have no problem focusing if you want to find the truth but why do we just forget about the may 2020 riots when they stormed into the white house grounds, the injured dozens of secret service agents and they tried to get to the president of the united states who had to be evacuated into a bunker. it wasn't like aoc hiding in a distant building, this was the president of the united states and the secret service were battling these people who were throwing objects and breaking the law and i don't think many of them are in solitary confinement facing life sentences right now. >> tucker: probably not. i think it's a very good observation. thank you so much, appreciate it. you may have wondered why your amazon package didn't arrive or ups is a little slow, maybe it's a supply-chain problem or may be the train that was bringing those packages to your house got

of garbage, that hasn't occurred to anyone in los angeles or in the state -- pick it up. california, where the garbage state, why would we pick up garbage? that's what we do, we produce garbage, that's the model of gavin newsom. union pacific was at which has been in california for over 100 years says it may stop operations in los angeles, meanwhile went up the coast in san jose, they've robbed several stores. your seen footage on your screen now. we don't want to gloat in sadness or anything but it's kind of an important thing if your biggest state falls apart. adam corolla lives in california, he has his old life.

i always tell them, i got two kids in high school but i will be pulling up to their graduation in a u-haul, that is my description. >> tucker: you shouldn't have to leave, you are from there. why should you have to leave, why don't the people who put garbage on the ground to leave? >> it's interesting because back to the train metaphor, they say if you live next to a train station you will stop hearing the trains eventually, and it's that way in california with graffiti and trash and the homeless population. it's slow, it's gradual but you just tune it out. everyone here just tunes it out. to be fair to the guys robbing the trains, maybe they are just cutting out the middleman. instead of going to the person's house and doing the porch pirate thing and a stealing from the porch or going to san francisco

and doing a smash and grab, why not grab it from a train and eliminate the middleman? >> tucker: if you care about the natural environment, to see the prettiest state in the country -- in the world -- desecrated by people who claim to care about the environment, may be global warming isn't the only environmental concern i'm starting to think. >> it's never ending lectures about outlawing plastic straws and about outlawing gas powered lawn mowers and gender-neutral toy aisles. we are living in essentially calcutta and we are talking about general neutral toy aisles. your son does strung out on fentanyl you're talking about getting him cello lessons. >> tucker: i think this actually is dirtier than calcutta is right now. does anyone notice? you are famously in the business

of noticing things, that's what you do but when you go back to your house and have a beer with your neighbors, do you say i can't believe this? >> it drives me nuts and no. everyone in california is in the business of tuning out everyone but themselves. that's what attracts people to california, no one is from here. you come here to tune out everyone but you. they somehow have tuned it out. to me, it's the first thing you see when you enter a city. when you drive around and you see that car with the bond o on the fenders and the fast wrappers on top of the dashboard and you go that person is crazy, that is what we look like, we look like a crazy old woman driving around a beat up car. >> tucker: i feel like moving back and saying to everyone else you're not from here, get out, you wrecked it, living next to you and taking a stand, probably not going to. adam corolla, i will see you in

texas or somewhere, thank you. you often hear people talk about a group of unelected bureaucrats entrenched in the federal government, they use the term the deep state -- it sounds like a little paranoid. less paranoid than it used to sound. and then to millie seen it firsthand, she became a senior state department official under the last administration and she walked directly how career officials work to derail the agenda of an elected politician. we talk to her in a brand-new episode of tucker carlson today about what she saw in d.c., here's part of it. >> everything i thought was wrong, it's so much worse. it's so frustrating because i mean there are so few of us. imagine having an administration like ours where it's so important to go in guns blazing, day 1 and not let -- we were

already up against the whole machine. then to have most of us the people who knew the agenda and wanted to execute the agenda, get whittled away by these nobodies. by these conniving nobodies and then think that the administration still has got a fighting chance, we fought with one hand behind our back. >> tucker: totally unarmed. >> we didn't know -- early on, we were getting advice from reagan appointees, that was the closest thing to our style of administration where we were having a hostile takeover. >> tucker: the bush people hated you, you're not getting help from them. >> not at all. would be pulled aside by serious old-timers and be like this is how you don't get screwed in this one area of whatever. where is the manual for that? who is building method man you will now? i have some friends i know that

our writing it but there's a lot of institutional knowledge there that if we lived in a real country and ever take power again we are going to really need to. >> tucker: she's a filmmaker from l.a., she got excited about trump in 2016, shows up in d.c. to help and is shocked by what she sees. the whole conversation is fascinating. you can get it for free at tuckercarlson capsoff.com. lindsey graham assured us that brett kavanaugh was a sincere individual, what happened? we'll tell you straight ahead to.

>> tucker: this week as we told you the supreme court overturned joe biden's lunatic vaccine mandate for private companies that have over 100 employees, that's a win for sanity. at the same time the court left in place his mandate for medical workers -- think about that part of the supreme court just

affirmed that the politicians in washington somehow know more about health than nurses in emergency rooms. that's absurd, how did that happen? it happened for one reason because justices john roberts and brett kavanaugh sided with the biden administration in alliance with the hard partisans on the court. no one's surprise john roberts did this, his judicial philosophy consists of not defending "the washington post." but brett kavanaugh? wasn't he supposed to be sincere conservative, a man of principle? many of us believed it. he cried during his confirmation hearings, wept like adam kinzinger, we felt sorry for him. we didn't understand at the time that something had broken inside of brett kavanaugh, at some level his tormentors now controlled him and going forward he would be more loyal to a conventional opinion in the constitution of the united states -- our mistake.

the court's actual conservatives, the ones who don't weep in public, his condition on the facts mandate made no sense at all. nothing in law or the constitution requires nurses to choose between losing their livelihoods and acquiescing to a vaccine they have rejected for months. exactly. in other words, joe biden's vaccine mandates have no legal authority. without legal authority, the government can't force us to do anything, period. in case you are wondering if it's really a spiritual war we are watching, here is this news story. and illinois elementary school is offering an after-school satan club. the local school is defending the satan club, it claims they will learn benevolence and empathy as well as personal sovereignty. lucien graves as was the satanic temple and joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. i have to ask, our parents

complaining there is an after-school satan club at their children's school? >> some are but they don't have to send their children to the program. it's available for parents who do want to send their children to the program and a visit there as an alternative to religious clubs that are made to proselytize to children. hours doesn't include items of religious opinion or indoctrination, it just has a self-directed learning program with trained educators there to help guide the children through different activities. >> tucker: may i ask, where are the satan club's trained educators trained? >> there trained through us. we have educators who have volunteered with us, we vented them, we do the criminal background checks that aren't required of after-school clubs and haven't been required of any of the religious clubs because we want to be responsible about this. we make sure they understand the curriculum, they understand what

we want to do in this program and that they are able to execute that. >> tucker: i love your use of the word execute. have any school administrators said you can lecture me about religious freedom, but you're a club or are they just passive like everyone else in america letting it happen? >> it's not being passive, that's understanding what the law is, that's understanding what the constitution is, it's understanding what free speech is and what religious liberty is. this a lot of people who express a lot of uproar about this and they go to the school board, the complaint of the principal, the complete of the superintendent to. a school board cannot overturn the supreme court. >> tucker: could there be an i hate gays club? the answer of course is no, the community has some say in what its kids are exposed to on government property, i.e. public

schools. you're just telling everyone is going along with it because of this report. >> the supreme court allowed in religion. they said not having religious clubs would be religious discrimination. i disagree, i think you can categorically deny religion but what you can't do is give the government the opportunity to pick and choose between which religious viewpoints they will allow. >> tucker: they do all the time. you can be suspended from school for quoting portions of the old testament, look immediately. i'm trying not to use profanity on the air but what you're saying is ridiculous. i just want to be really clear on this, to me it's another example of people sitting back and saying i guess i have to -- that's another story hour for fourth graders, i can't say anything and you are confirming that everyone feels that way, they have to go along with it. >> people get upset about it, people like you and they don't reconcile their viewpoints on free speech and religious liberty. i don't know what you are suggesting, i don't know if

you're suggesting the school board should say no, this is not allowed and we are going against the supreme court ruling. >> tucker: what i'm saying is you ought to be allowed to quote the new testament out loud in school -- if we are going to apply the standard which i suppose i would be happy to live under we have to apply it equally but is not applied equally as you know. >> i don't know the new testament story you're speaking of but it's anybody's right to practice their religion and we are not asking for other religious folks to be taken out, were asking for equal access. >> tucker: i'm not saying the school would not provide that if it were an expression of orthodox christianity as you know. i appreciate your coming on tonight, thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: a new study of oma krohn confirms with several other studies have already shown and what you know since you live in this country, you are surrounded by people who have oma crown which is pretty much everybody. you know oma krohn is much less severe than past variants of

coronavirus. the only people who don't seem to know that when her health establishments. we will speak to one of the premier physicians in the country, next. and thousands of jewish survivors are still suffering in poverty today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. "comfort ye, comfort my people." when i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. these elderly jews are weak and they're sick. they're living on $2 a day which is impossible. this now, is how god's children are living. take this time to send a survival food box to these forgotten jews.

the international fellowship of christians and jews urgently need your gift of $25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the essentials they critically need for their diet for one month. no vitamins and no protein so my legs and hands are very weak. oh, oh, oh let's make sure that we bring them just a little bit of hope. by bringing them a little bit of food. become a part of the fellowship today by reaching out to bless these precious people of god. for just $25, you can help supply the essential foods they desperately need for one month. that's less than a dollar a day. the fellowship has given christians like me a way to bless elderly jews and holocaust survivors who live in extreme poverty around the world. god tells us to take care of them,

to feed the hungry. and i pray holocaust survivors will be given the basic needs that they so desperately pray for to survive.

♪ ♪ >> tucker: turns out there's not a lot to dread about the dreaded omicron variant of covid, we know this because the big a study in the world of omicron has concluded and involved researchers from all around the world and here's what they found. of the 52,000 patience they studied who had the omicron variant, none required ventilation. people with natural immunity had lower infection rates than people who hadn't been previously infected, we knew that. given that 98% of new infections are from the variant, this suggests maybe we need to change our approach to the so-called pandemic which may no longer be a pandemic. that's why we asked dr. marty makary to come on tonight.

this study seems i don't know with conclusive supplies but it seems powerful, what do you conclude from it to? >> this was a remarkable study, it was massive. no longer an open question, omicron is clearly more mild. this confirms the bedside observations, it's staying in the upper respiratory system. they found 52,000 people with omicron, it probably back in ths a quarter of the cases in the community -- [inaudible] hospital, 84% had a less than 48 hours stay. if you're a member the south african doctors noticed

very few hospitalized patients were in the icu, the average length of stay was about two days. we ignored that advice and they said to very specifically do not panic. this is a mild virus, that was two months ago. u.s. public health officials dangled at as an open questions that omicron could be more deadly and there is a small chance it could be less deadly. the reason this is important is that less than 1.7% of new cases today art delta, the vast majority, 98.3 are omicron, get our policies are based on delta, a different virus that behaves differently that has a different fatality rate. all of the policies, mandates, excessive testing, the cruel quantity periods d staffing our hospitals, the supreme court ruling used delta data, even

exaggerated into it and made a ruling during a time we have a different virus, a virus with a lower severity rate than influenza. we have 50 to 70,000 people a year in the middle of that influenza season, that's what we have right now with covid, we have about 62 max 70,000 people in the hospital for covid. we have a staffing crisis right now, tend to make 25% of staff and health care have left, many permanently, many of them have natural immunity, they were fired. they had antibodies circulating in their blood that neutralize the virus but they are antibodies that government does not recognize pickle people want the science, they want it straight and what i find his people are hungry for honesty with the data.

>> tucker: the lying has been mind-boggling. may be what we should do is send 100 million covid tests to asymptomatic people to scare them, do you think that's a good public policy solution to this? >> their plan to do it is after the omicron wave, we will be very low levels and most of the country by then. by then people will be so sick and tired, they aren't going to carry about a very low level of mild virus that acts like the common cold. many of these policies are spending a lot of money that's going to come far after the current wave. >> tucker: it will be interesting to see who has stock in the testing company. i appreciate your coming on and for the clarity of your analysis, thanks so much. we spent a lot of time talking about kamala harris but what about her friends? one of her closest friends was the top prosecutor in baltimore, maryland, mosby and she's in deep legal trouble for fraud. she had a couple vacation homes and lied on her loan applications.
